Avoid using the word to speak against yourself, or to gossip about others.

Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love."Don Miguel Ruiz

Lately, I have noticed that my heartfelt expression or kind words are sometimes received just when a person most needs them...and when that occurs and I happen to learn about it... I am surprised and always so grateful that I took the time.

Lovely post! And it is so true. Always be kind. I know how much it means to me when I receive such kindness and I am glad when I can also be that for others. Thank you for sharing, and as always your photos are lovely!Hugs, Lisa

A philosophy that I try to live by...not always successfully but mostly .....I don't think any of us are perfect all of the time, but I try my best.If only everybody in the world would practice this philosophy, most of the time XXXX

Hi LauraYOu know I have had a couple of very recent experiences where I have had to choose whether to 'speak up' or stay silent. I decided to speak up in praise of someone. Just like you I found out later it had been 'just at the right moment'. I think the lesson for me is that you may not always get any feedback, but it doesn't mean there hasn't been an impact somewhere! I agree.. be kind! We need it! hahax Julie

Laura!!! I love this post so much! My Mom always used to say the same thing,kindness costs nothing yet means so much!Whenever she(we) saw someone down on their luck,she would say"Ah but for the grace of God,there goes you or I" and that has stuck with me all my life!! Enjoy your evening,you kind soul you!!!x0x0x00x

About Me

My Symphony

To live content with small means.... To seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion.... To be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich.... To study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly.... To listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart.... To bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never.... In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common...............this is to be my symphony.
